Fortnite iOS app makes an epic return to the store
After a gap of 5 years, Epic Games have returned victorious to the iOS app store. Apple blocked Fortnite in 2020 when Epic Games added an external payment to the popular battle Royal Games. Epic surely sued Apple, but a federal judge ruled in favor of Apple, stating that Epik had clearly violated the guidelines of the App Store. But the case was dragged, and Apple was eventually asked to allow third party payment at its app store. Apple did this, but not without controversy. It accused the developers of 27% commission for transactions fulfilled on third-party payments.
This made everyone angry, but Apple lost a big time when Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ordered to prevent it from charging, and the apps allowed the apps to include links to external payment methods. Epic Games were pleased with this, and presented a version of Fortnight that included Apple’s own payment system and an external payment option. However, Apple allegedly rejected the submission. Epic wrote a letter to the judge, so that he asked to intervene, and he warned Apple that if the companies did not resolve the issue, and would have to appear in the court for hearing on May 27, its executive would be personally responsible.
Apple immediately allowed to submission of epic games, and created Fortnite Available On the app store for all iPhone and iPad users.
